Animal Food Machine

Our independently developed animal food machine adopts advanced extrusion molding technology and is a mature and efficient feed processing equipment. This animal food machine can process corn, bran, soybean meal, grass powder and other raw materials into uniform solid feed pellets through automatic feeding, high-temperature curing, extrusion and discharging. By replacing different size molds, this versatile animal food machine can produce feed for chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, cattle, sheep and aquatic animals. With stable motor performance, movable design, low noise and easy operation, the animal food machine effectively helps farmers reduce feed costs.

Poultry and cattle/sheep feed ingredients are mainly divided into roughage, energy feed, protein ingredients, and various additives: Cattle and sheep, as ruminants, need high-fiber roughage such as alfalfa, hay, silage, and straw to nourish the rumen, supplemented with energy ingredients such as corn and wheat bran, and protein supplemented with soybean meal and rapeseed meal; Chickens, ducks, and other monogastric poultry have a weak ability to digest crude fiber, so they mainly rely on grains such as corn and wheat as energy sources, and use soybean meal and fish meal to provide high-quality protein, with a small amount of grass meal added. At the same time, both types of livestock and poultry are supplemented with minerals, vitamins, and compound additives to balance all the nutrients required for growth, lactation, and fattening.

Previously, we presented an overview of the machinery, giving you a basic understanding of its main features. Below, the detailed flowchart will guide you through the entire production process: from raw material reception, crushing, mixing, extrusion, drying, and coating to cooling and packaging. This flowchart will help you intuitively understand the system's operating logic and production efficiency, providing a clear reference for your project selection.

3, animal food machine Introduction (3-5 ton per hour)

a. Raw material crushing unit: Adopting a hammer-type crushing structure with a grading screen, the crushing fineness (20-80 mesh) can be adjusted according to the requirements of feed formulas. The material crushing uniformity is high, ensuring the subsequent granulation effect; the parts in contact with materials are made of food-grade stainless steel to avoid pollution, and are easy to disassemble, clean and maintain.

b.Batching and mixing machine: Equipped with a precise weighing and batching system, it supports automatic batching of various raw materials in proportion. The mixing chamber adopts a double helical ribbon mixing design with a mixing uniformity variation coefficient ≤5%; liquid additives (such as oil, vitamin premix) can be added and uniformly mixed through a special spraying device to meet the needs of different nutritional formulas.

c.Screw conveyor: Adopting a shaftless screw conveying structure, it is suitable for the continuous conveying of crushed powder materials. The conveying angle can be flexibly adjusted (0-60°) with no material residue. The dust-proof and sealed design avoids material waste and environmental dust pollution; the conveying speed is adjustable, achieving precise linkage with the subsequent granulation equipment.

d. Feed pellet machine: As the core granulation equipment, it adopts frequency conversion speed regulation technology, and the rotation speeds of the main engine, feeding system and pressure roller can be adjusted independently, adapting to various raw materials and mixed formulas such as corn, soybean meal, straw and fish meal; the mold is made of alloy steel through special heat treatment with optional aperture (1.5-10mm), the pellet forming rate is ≥95%, and the hardness is moderate, which is convenient for animal digestion and absorption; it is equipped with a forced lubrication system and an intelligent temperature control device to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the equipment and extend the service life of the mold and screw.

e . Counterflow cooler: Adopting a counterflow cooling structure, the pellet cooling speed is fast, and the temperature is reduced to within room temperature + 5℃ to avoid moisture absorption and caking of finished products; it is built-in with multi-layer screening nets, which can separate unqualified pellets (too coarse, too fine or crushed powder), ensuring the uniformity of finished pellets. Unqualified pellets can be returned for re-granulation to improve the raw material utilization rate.

f.Finished product silo: Adopting a conical bottom design with a capacity of 5-10 tons, it is equipped with an arch breaking device to prevent material bridging and blockage; temperature and humidity monitoring sensors are installed in the silo to feed back the storage status of finished products in real time and ensure the feed quality.

g. Automatic packing machine: It supports quantitative packaging of 25-50kg per bag with a packaging accuracy error ≤±0.2%, and is equipped with automatic sewing and label printing functions, which can print production date, batch number, formula number and other information to meet the traceability management requirements; the packaging speed is adjustable, adapting to production lines with different capacities.
